I photographed a wedding at Embassy Suites by Hilton Seattle Bellevue and honestly ended up really enjoying the experience there more than I expected. One thing that stood out immediately was how practical the space is for wedding days where multiple events happen in one location. The large indoor atrium made it easy for guests to move between getting ready, portraits, and the ceremony without feeling rushed or cramped. It also worked surprisingly well for portraits, especially during the daytime when soft natural light filters through the open central space. The hotel was especially accommodating for a large multicultural wedding with several outfit changes and traditional ceremonies throughout the day. There was enough space for family members to gather comfortably, which made the atmosphere feel lively and connected instead of chaotic. From a photographer’s perspective, I also appreciated how convenient everything felt logistically. Having guest rooms, ceremony space, and reception areas all in one place helped the timeline run much more smoothly and gave everyone more time to actually enjoy the day. The staff was kind and helpful throughout the wedding, and overall the venue handled a large celebration very well. Definitely a solid option for couples planning a wedding in the Bellevue or Seattle area, especially if you’re hosting a multi-day celebration or have guests traveling in from out of town.

Incredible service from all of the friendly staff. The building itself was beautiful, especially from the inside. You can see by my picture from the 2nd floor looking out at the gigantic courtyard! Very good breakfast and drinks at the managers reception. My only request for this level of hotel would be cookies. Warm cookies :) My only complaint in the grand scheme of things is pretty minor compared to how good everything else was. Our window in our bedroom was in really bad shape. The aluminum frame had previously separated from the the glass panes causing loss of seal between them. They tried to silicone seal it, but that didn't work, allowing moisture/condensation and dirt to get in between the two panes and make the window look really dirty. Cleaning staff couldn't clean it because it was on the inside of the dual pane glass. Overall, I would go back to this hotel. The needs were comfortable, and the food in the Cascades restaurant was really good too.

Highly recommend staying here!!! We stayed here during a girls trip to Seattle and absolutely loved it! My family and I were so impressed with this hotel. Everything was extremely clean, quiet, and comfortable, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. The hot tub was actually hot (which is rare at hotels!), and the exercise room had really nice equipment with a lot more options than most hotel gyms. The highlight of the whole stay was definitely the made-to-order omelette station at breakfast. The fresh omelettes and all the breakfast options were amazing! we looked forward to it every morning! This hotel was cozy and such a great place to stay. We will definitely be back next time we’re in the Seattle area!!

This has been our go-to hotel to stay at for years. The rooms are always clean and spacious. The breakfast is one of the main reasons we enjoy staying here so much. We look forward to eating the great variety of breakfast items. The location is perfect. Everything is just easy staying here. We always enjoy ourselves.

Great location with quick access to the freeway into Seattle. The suite we got was a pull out couch and two queen beds, perfect for my wife and I and our 4 kids! The price was very reasonable as well. Much cheaper than booking 2 seperate rooms. I didn't read the fine print so I wasn't aware parking was extra. This isn't common for hotels out of the city center so I didn't expect it, in my opinion it should be included. It was mentioned when I booked so my bad for not noticing. The hotel was clean and well kept. The pool was fun for the kids and not too busy. The continental breakfast was decent, I did take advantage of the omelet bar which was a nice addition. There is a McDonald's, a Jack in the box and a Starbucks conveniently across the street. I wasn't worried about the car, it felt like a safe area. Overall I would recommend, especially for a bigger family.

I have always been a fan of embassy suites when it comes to getting the most for your money when traveling with kids and don’t have lots to spend . I checked in with 5 kids and me for my nieces 13th birthday and they were so welcoming ( even gave her a little goodie bag with chips,chocolate and bottled waters ). They allowed us early check in at noon instead of 4 and late check out at noon instead of 11 ! The kids are allowed to swim there u til 10pm and as early as 7am . At 10 they very courteously come in and ask anyone under 18 to get out so that adults can have two hours without splashing and hollering . I appreciated that when the kids asked if they could please have just five more minutes the lady smiled and agreed to give them five more minutes . The breakfast buffet and the evening snacks made this birthday for a very limited income auntie something I could do that was so fun and will be doing this every year for all my past foster kids and nieces ! It’s way cheaper than hosting an actual party and you don’t have to get your house all ready and do all the work involved ! We will be back and back ! Oh ya and their beds are bananas sooooo comfy!

I’ve stayed here more than 10 times. Starbucks 1 minute away, dispensary 1 minute away, freeway 1 minute away You cannot top this location. Groceries nearby and super safe felt by the LDS temple nearby. Just checked in and the main floor smells and looks undeniably clean. I love their hot tub and pool as well. Rooms are clean and spacious and some have balconies. The choice is yours but you should definitely stay here.

Great location, nice clean spacious rooms, wonderful service, and delicious breakfast. This is a place I like to keep coming back to for all the right reasons. So far, it has been a great experience every time. Looking forward to my next visit.

The good: clean rooms, but dated carpets and mattresses. Comfortable sleep though. Pool area was good for kids and had lots off seating around the outside for spectators. Managers special in evenings with snacks and a free drink was awesome! Free buffet breakfast was ok...glad it was free though because it's not at the quality I would pay extra for. Had a decent stay. The challenges: stayed NYE, it was extremely noisy all night, but given the night I wasn't upset at all about it. An employee that spoke very broken English came around room to room at 9:30 am knocking on doors asking what time we would be checking out was a very awkward and uncomfortable experience. I'm not sure why that was necessary, I've stayed at many Embassy Suites hotels and this is the first time I've ever had an employee do this. The only GREAT thing about breakfast was the omelette station. Everything else was below average, but it was nice that it was free and they had many hot items. Overall, it was a good stay. If I was in the area again, I would definitely stay at the downtown Seattle location or the Lynnwood location before I would stay at this one again.

Recently stayed 2 nights on our way through washington. The breakfast and happy hour were both very enjoyable. We did find the pool especially small for the amount of people that can be staying here. We also had trouble sleeping do to the traffic noise that you could easily hear through the balcony doors. Also, the fact that parking is $22 a night is just unexceptable. Considering the location of this hotel, its clear its a cash grab at best. While there were things we liked, we would try staying elsewhere next time coming through.
